Wanted

Wes is a 25-year-old nobody who sits behind a desk, and everyone is certain this disengaged slacker will amount to nothing. After his father is murdered, he is recruited into a secret society that trains Wes to avenge his dad's death.

Not much more than a fun action romp here. I don't have a lot to say as there is very little to this movie. Sometimes it feels far too ambitious, like it thinks it is a much deeper film than it is which is a quality I absolutely loath in all art. If you're really bored it's worth a watch but there are many, far better action movies in this world.

Summary

In this movie the main character goes from a ho hum life to one that is thrilling and full of danger.

Unrealistically he becomes someone his father was while he finds out just who he is.
Moving from an office worker to a natural born killer, James McAvoy is put through the paces that Anjelina Jolie and Morgan Freeman exact on him.

Excellent performances by all with special effects that are top rated.
A must see for the "Matrix" style FX alone.
